A man was found lying in the middle of the road with serious head injuries in Walton-on-the-Hill.

Surrey Police is appealing for witnesses to help establish hot the man, who is believed to be in his 30s, suffered the injuries.

He was discovered by members of the public in Breech Lane at around 1.30am on Sunday (July 20).

Officers and the South East Coast Ambulance Service attended the scene and the man was taken by ambulance to St George's Hospital in Tooting where he remains in a serious condition.

Police closed Breech Lane between the junction with Chequers Lane and the St Peter Church of England entrance. The road remained closed at midday on Sunday.

Police are carrying out an investigation into the incident, including reviewing CCTV footage and house-to-house enquiries.

Temporary Detective Inspector Sailesh Limbachia said: "This is clearly a concerning incident where a man has sustained serious injuries and we need to find how this happened as soon as possible.

"At this stage it is not clear if the man sustained his injuries as a result of a collision with a vehicle, an assault or by some other means, so I urgently need to hear from anyone who may have seen or heard anything late on Saturday evening or in the early hours of this morning.

"The incident took place close to a main road so I feel certain that residents living in the area or passing pedestrians and motorists must have seen or heard something out of the ordinary.

"The man may have been on a night out in the local area on Saturday so I would also like to hear from anyone who may have seen a man walking in the direction of Breech Lane in the early hours of the morning.

"I would like to reassure residents that this appears to be an isolated incident and there is no indication of any wider risk to the local community and we are working closely with the local neighbourhood policing team to keep people updated.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident or with any information about how the man sustained his injuries should call Surrey Police on 101, quoting reference 45140060505, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
